I discovered the world of raw foods 2 years ago and instantly fell in love with this philosophy. I'm learning every day and try to listen to my body, and about 75-80% of my food intake is raw. I live in a cold climate, so in wintertime I heat up with some warm soups and steamed veggies. Since cold weather is alkalizing, it's ok to balance the body with some acid foods.
I have been running a health food shop in Stockholm, but sold my share last year. I just want to deepen my knowledge in "raw food", so recently I took the course "Science of Raw Food Nutrition" at the Living Light Culinary Arts in Fort Bragg. My intention/vision is to run raw food/detox retreats in Mallorca, Provence or in California.

Delete Comment Hej. Jag hade glädjen av att vara hos Aika för några dagar sen, så jag tänkte att nu kan jag som ny medlem lika gärna bjuda in till nästa träff. :D
Föreslår lördag 28/3 kl 15. Kan du inte precis då, så kom senare. Ta med något att tugga på eller laga här. (Stort kök med några maskiner).
Forutom prat och käk, så tänkte jag visa del av filmen "Processed people", som är mycket motiverande. Åtta-nio forskare, doktorer och dietister förklarar va som är den sämsta och besta maten, och derav konsekvenser. Gissa va dom alla har kommit fram till.... :wink:
Ca. åtta minuters gånga från Danderyds Sjukhus T-bana. Skicka PM om du vill komma, så får du vegbreskrivning och mitt nummer i fall du skulle gå vilse.
Well, the trip we put together for Elle was very private. She actually rented a private villa on the beach and we organized a raw chef to be coaching her.
We are based in Spain (close to Valencia), so should you need any assistance in putting together your raw retreats in Mallorca, I'll be more than pleased to give you a hand. Cheers
Hi Stephany :
I love Kabbalah too, it is such an important path in my life now, I always remember everyday life when I fell lost, Have you been to the Kabbalah Center in LA, ?
Stockholm is ok in terms of restaurants and selections in the groceries. There is one raw take away shop called Bröderna Spiridons Allehanda and you can have a raw lunch at Yogayama + a café that I havne't been to yet. I can imagine that there is only dead food in Motala, I'm familiar with the town. I will check out RAW SCANDINAVIANS, thanks for the tip!
Thank you for having me on the board :) How is it being raw in Sthlm? Are there any good restaurants etc? Motala is not so good - a plain sallad is a hype! Gotta change that...

Lemon juice, sliced lemon peel, lemon grass or lemon verbina, raw honey, star anise (optional), maybe some ginger, hot water (let it all infuse together for a while) ...
oh yeah there were like 3 judges who really eager to find mistakes in my asanas and other yoga practices that they asked me to perform :)
But i am lucky hahahaha

You're invited. Welcome!
Great to see another Swede here as well.
How's Stockholm today?
